Street Fighter 3rd strike: Online edition

So before SM came blindly rampaging into this thread like a bull with a bucket on its head, flinging flamebait all over about a rebalance and accusing everyone of playing half the time he has. I posted a link, which got swallowed in all the drama, to iplaywinners interview with Seth Killian about 3S and pointed out something I found pretty interesting in it about the youtube functions and the possibilty of streaming the best online matches live. At the moment it is just speculation but I was wondering if anybody read the interview, had any thoughts on the concept, other ideas as to how it might work and lastly if they think we could potentially see something like this from 3SOE or in other fighting games in the near future or if the wait could be longer.

My previous post is here if anybody is interested:

The more streaming stuff, the more youtube stuff, the more better.

Alright so I made a thread specifically for the discussion of a rebalanced mode. If you have something to say about a rebalanced version of the game keep it in that thread. Any rebalance discussion outside of that thread before such rebalance is officially announced by Capcom will get the cops called on you.

I do not want a rebalance.

I want casual scrubs to cry tears and ragequit every time I pick Chun.

I want GameFAQs/EventNubs folks to scream WTF everytime I catch them with some karakusa shenanigans with Makoto.

I want to know that everytime I do get beat for using a top tier, then I was beat by someone who knew the fuck what they were doing in the match.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up being a feature considering what you can do with GGPO and the internet in general. If it’s something where anybody can watch a streamed match at anytime justin.tv style that would be pretty cool.

Sven also mentioned something like that as one of the things they’d like to do in future fighters in last weeks Ask Capcom livestream.

I have no intentions of picking the top tiers. I want to beat the shit out of the top tiers with Q and make more people pick him thinking he’s awesome (because he totally is).

I might poke at some fun with picking Shoryu Cannon Sean on day 1. That super is the hype.

i was amazed to see that jwong picks hadou burst with Sean. its like, how can you not pick “Shoryuuu Cannonnn!”?

Hadou Burst gives Sean something to work off of his long-range cancellable pokes(…cr.MK, basically), and it’s hitconfirmable of cr.LKx2. It does good damage for a 3-bar Super. All of Sean’s Supers are great in their own ways.

pick elena.

Trust me on this one.

I’ll be sticking with Twelve/Ken.

Right, I understand it has good uses, but I just love me some Shoryu Cannon.

It sounds like fucking machine gun on steroids and Bobby Blake’s dick on coke.

I always used Hadou Burst.

Hyper Tornado always looked gangsta, and it was the first Super Art I used with Sean back in New Generation. Looking forward to punishing scrubs with it soon.

I’ll admit, the first time I combo’d into hyper tornado I was hype as fuck. Way back before I knew what tiers were and was just getting started.

Same, except for me, it was when I combo’d into anything. Haha.

im such a scrub im still hype when i get low foward xx fireball xx shinkuu

I remember how hyped I was when I did my 1st parry on purpose against a single full screen hadouken. I was sitting there thinking “Shiiiit yeh! I just parried that. You cant touch me!” and then I jumped in and got a DP to my face for the KO and the loss. So my moment of pride lasted basically the time between leaving the ground flying through the air and then not even landing which was about 0.3 seconds. You could say I learned a valuable lesson not to do that. Actually the valuable lesson I learned was that jumping in is a harder habit to kick than crack because I kept doing it for many games after that one passed.
